flashback freezup

Hey. I'm having an issue on my new system that I crash when accessing the Pillar of Ice & Flame to choose flashback missions, both in Ouro zone (red side) and through my SG base (again red side). I can open the menu and select a level range, but as soon as I click an actual arc my graphics freeze and I need to end task to get around it. I get a feedback window blaming it on a display driver, updating drivers has not helped.

I'm running:
AMD Phenom2 x6 1035t processor
ATI Radeon HD 5750, 1024mb graphics
8gb DDR3 ram
Windows 7, 64bit

Has anybody else run into this?

There have actually been several threads about very similar (if not the exact same) issues you are having. Try rolling back to the older 10.9 driver version. Many people with ATI cards (myself included) have reported that rolling back has solved them.

On a side note, it seems a couple of NVidia's recent drivers do it too, so it's not necessarily ATI's fault.

Thanks Master-Blade, I was hoping somebody would have a specific driver-number to try.

Okay I've downloaded 10.9 but I'm still running into the same issue.

Stupid question time: do I have to uninstall the old driver somehow? I've never rolled back to a previous version and my system info is still showing 10.12 as the current driver, like it selects the newest driver by default, did I miss a step somewhere?

Typically, we would suggest uninstalling your current driver, reboot in safe mode, run a program like Driver Sweeper, reboot, and then install your new driver as you normally would.

Issue solved, 10.9 did the trick. Your tech-fu is strong, wise master.

Yeah, this was a major issue a while back - 10.9 drivers was the solution for a LOT of us.
